7 RESTROOM USAGE POLICY Students will use school restrooms for their intended purpose in a respectful and responsible manner. FLUSH Policy: First, open the door cautiously and enter quietly. Leave the restroom after attending to your personal needs. Leave nothing behind that will make the next user feel uncomfortable. Use soap, water, and the trash can. Share any concerns (unclean restroom, stuff you overheard) with an adult. Help keep the restrooms at McFadden Intermediate School safe and clean for everyone. Restrooms are available: Before school During Nutrition During Lunch After School When in the Locker Room When students choose to use one of their 4 Restroom Passes which they receive each semester.

When a student chooses to use one of his/her passes, the teacher must sign the pass and put the time that the student leaves the room. The student must sign out on the Restroom Sign-Out Chart and mark the time he/she leaves the classroom and the time he/she returns to the classroom. Students are to go directly to the nearest restroom, use the restroom correctly, and return directly back to class.

Students will not use the restrooms for: Changing their clothes Hanging out with friends Putting on make-up Writing on walls Misuse of Student Restrooms: Students who misuse the restroom will attend detention after school where they will be retaught the Restroom Usage Policy and given a quiz to check for their understanding of the policy.

16 A MILLION WORDS!!! The State of California has set the standard for all California students to be able to read ONE MILLION words each year, all on their own! This is 1,000,000 words PER YEAR! Although it sounds like a lot of words, and it is, it really is quite manageable. For instance, if you have read four Harry Potter books, you are half-way there, because you would have read approximately 500,000 words. Here s an easy way to break it down: 1,000,000 words per year = 100,000 words per month you are in school 100,000 words per month = 25,000 words per week that s 2 novels per month 25,000 words per week = 5,000 words per day that s pages per day ( words per page) So, if you read at least thirty minutes per day, and read about twenty to thirty pages each day for five days in a week, you will reach your goal! Document all the reading you do each day in your agenda. List the types of reading you do.fiction, nonfiction, magazine articles, newspaper articles, etc. Write two or three sentences that summarize what you read that day. Celebrate your accomplishments. You can do it! You CAN read 1,000,000 words this year! To help McFadden students achieve this goal, you will have the opportunity to participate in the reading incentive program Reading Counts. Your English Language Arts teacher will give you more information about this exciting program. LIBRARY The library is open daily. Students may use the library for studying, reading, and research. A student attending the library during class must obtain a pass from his/her teacher to be permitted access to the library. Students who do not return their library books on time will be fined. All fines must be paid within a reasonable time. Eighth graders who owe fines will not be permitted to participate in end of the year activities until they have paid their fines. TEXTBOOKS Textbooks are provided free of charge and students are expected to keep them in good condition during the year. Students are required to cover their books with a durable cover. Students will be expected to replace textbooks at their personal expense should they become lost or damaged. Eighth graders who have not returned all of their textbooks will not be permitted to participate in end of the year activities until they have resolved any textbook issues.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICY McFadden Intermediate School strives to achieve the highest quality of Parent Involvement by aligning our parent activities with the National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement. Through a collaborative effort of all parent groups (English Language Advisory Committee, School Site Council Parents, and Schoolwide Parent Group), all parent subgroups (Title I, English Language Learners, gifted and talented, students with disabilities, migratory and homeless students) are given the opportunity to provide input on the various activities that they believe will assist them in becoming actively involved in their student s academic, as well as social emotional development. Below are the list of services and activities that have been developed through this collaboration. Each activity is aligned to the National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement and shared with the families through the student agendas that are distributed at no cost* to the families during their registration process in both English and Spanish. Standard I: Communication between the home and school is regular, two-way, and meaningful. McFadden Intermediate staff understands the value of parent contributions. Our staff is asked to work with parents as equal partners by utilizing the following means to communicate with all parent subgroups in both English and Spanish.
